Monte Carlo highlights on DTDPoker.com

what i'm trying to say george is no matter how good you actually are if you dont adapt to playing your opponents then you aint gonna win. you cant out play weak players so often have to remove your poker brain and accept that to beat bingo players then a basic ABC strategy is the best option. not trying to tell your granny how to suck eggs on here but saw a guy post about pub poker and everyone had a pop at it. the difference in pub poker and the £300 deepstack is minimal. most of the field go out with top pair top kicker crying "cooler" or "some idiot out drew me". the dtd deepstack is so successful because 1. its the first weekend of the month and most muggles just got their monthly wages so can afford it (the mid month deepstack in sept flopped because most people are broke a week after payday). 2. they do not need to take a day off work coz its at a weekend..... imo you dont need to start playing poker at an advanced level until you play the gukpt which starts thurs/fri and costs a lot more. also you have less on line qualifiers for the gukpt and these online qualifiers are most of the value in the monte carlo

orly?

And as it turns out Andrew I was at the first ukipt in galway in 2010 when a young Internet type came to me about advice. He had played 16 live tourneys that year with just 1 cash which he was frustrated about. He noticed that I cashed a high % and sort my advice. I told him that online and live should have totally different names and not be both called poker. They are like chalk and cheese. I told him to stay at home killing Internet poker because that's the best way to maximise roi.  It's a good job he never listened to me because 4 weeks later that young man was at the ept in France and Jake Cody burst onto the live scene

i think you are being a little unfair to john. i did not say he adjusts because he does not. he plays the same basic style that gets him plenty of cashes  at dtd. he does not need to adjust  his play. he plays good cards and is usually on the right end of coolers coz he plays premium hands. however he adjusts his style to the dtd game. if you watch john who has an equally impressive record in £20 re buys he plays a different game fully understanding in fast structure nugget comps you need to play differently. this is were he adjusts, to the different comps .its a style that sees him cash very often. a style that is emplyed by a lot of regular cashers. final tables in dtd's deepstack are often made up of a least a couple of guys who you know 100% they aint made 1 bluff all weekend or 1 4 bet

Jason I've played John. Lovely guy. Not good at poker. I did see him flop 8 sets, get aces vs kings 3 times so yeh results speak for themselves

[smashedagain]

You saw him get the aces and kings and sets coz idiots paid him. And a pair of kings is z minimum requirement for him to put his chips in with. You would not have seen him donk chips off trying to bluff an idiot, you won't have seen him making hero calls with ace high and Wont have seen him throwing away decent hands when he was behind. I think he has a winning style for the game. Similar to 2 time winner Colin young

Make the man a mod.
